It's good news that David is improving so quickly after surgery!
Yuri, like you, I was totally out of it for a month after the ruptured aneurysm, and that's definitely a blessing. I had surgery that went on for 7.5 hours, where they cut along my hairline, folded the skin back to my crown in one direction, and to my eyebrows in the other, took out a 2 inch square of my skull, then put it all back together after they clipped off the aneurysm. I don't remember a bit of it, and only a few short seconds of doctors and nurses asking me questions and moving me around. It was probably near the end of the month's stay.
I can't even begin to imagine how much pain I must have been in... which is a good thing!
I had halucinations, too. I walked through a field of wildflowers with my uncle and dead grandfather, went to lunch with a 40-ish Johnny Cash, who had just happened to wander into my room, and saw my dead father sitting right next to my bed many nights, keeping watch over me.
